Doug Mishkin, singer/songwriter/lawyer/housing advocate spearheads a new model for affordable housing in the town of Egremont that is getting noticed around the state.
Sandy Caroll, chief executive officer of the Berkshire County Board of Realtors, summarizes 2025 sales: residential up, land down. But the real story is in the details.
Sales of single-family residential homes in the first quarter were very strong but flattened as we entered the spring market. Volume varied by region within Berkshire County.
The real estate market in the second quarter was a mixed bag—higher sales and higher prices in some areas but lower in others. Mortgage rates are still having an impact.
With the rise in the popularity and, now, the legality of short-term rentals in many towns, the question arises as to the rights of neighbors and others who are impacted by a short-term rental in their neighborhood.
Decreasing mortgage rates bode well for a potentially active spring market and will ramp up an already hyper competitive market while inventory issues remain unabated.
